Have a little read: ... The best and most universal approach to understanding childhood has to be the scientific approach. "How far is this statement true in comparison to the social constructionist approach?" The definition of a child often remains controversial. It can be determined according to the child's age, physical appearance (for example size and dressing) and also his or her ability to think and reason. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNRC) defines a child as one who falls under the age of eighteen years. Despite the establishment of the legal age, concepts of childhood and children often differ widely between different cultures, societies and communities. In order to make sense of childhood, scientific and social constructionist approaches have been involved. Scientific approach involves devising theories such as how children's thinking capacities develop. Thus, it seeks empirical knowledge about children by devising theories and testing them through observations and experiments.
